Butterflies, spread your wings

To those starting anew and those who love poems;

A Poem By Robert Longley entitled,
BUTTERFLY

TAKE A STEP OUTSIDE YOUR SHELL
TO DRINK THE SECRETS OF THE WELL

NO LONGER WILL YOU FIT INSIDE
THERE'S NO MORE NEED TO RUN AND HIDE

IT'S EASY NOW TO BE YOURSELF
AND SET YOUR FEARS UPON A SHELF

TO CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR JUST A THOUGHT
AND RECONSIDER ALL YOU'RE TAUGHT

WISHES MADE WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
CAPTURED IN THE SONGS YOU SUNG

FREED YOUR HEART TO LAUGH AND PLAY
REMINDERS OF A FORMER DAY

SO NOW YOU LOOK THROUGH OPEN EYES
TO ASK THE HOWS, THE WHENS, THE WHYS

TO SEARCH THE WORLD TO FIND YOUR PART
AND FREE THE DREAMS WITHIN YOUR HEART
